Speer Peapod 2

For sale

speer pea pod 2 , sorry dont know temp ratings etc

In excelent condition , only used twice

The velco has been removed and shock cord threaded down the outer seams , This closes right round my DD hammock without problems but obviously doesnt seal as well. but i prefer this to the velco which could be stitched back on if you prefer

what have you learned about these peapods? i have an older one, gray on inside green on outside. do you know the specs? all i know about mine is that it is thin. probably 2 inch loft with sewn thru baffles.

I learned that the previous PP models might have several differences from the current ones, but basically the design hasnít changed. The fabric might be slightly heavier on the older models & the loft might be slightly less. However some older models are essentially the same as the current ones. Basically the current models have more loft (thus greater warmth) & lighter-weight fabrics. The fabrics used for the shells now are more consistent in color & weight than previous models. Ask about the color---if itís all gray it could be the same as the new ones; if itís gray inside/forest green outside, itís probably a few ounces heavier than the new ones. As far as down goes, it could be the old 750 instead of the new 900---this could be hard to measure since youíd need to measure the loft which is highly subjective.

Unfortunately, I am going to have to pass on this one... I need something sooner than Michael can get it to me, because I just sold my Heresy hammock, and I have no UQ for my Speer!

the correct loft is 1in on top , 1.5in on bottom not as previously stated

Weight is 1lb 12oz

Cheers

I have a friend that uses one of these, and adds a pad or clothing when needed in the bottom section, and a top quilt on top both only when needed. He has been toasty in the 20s and loves it. Then under 2 lbs total top and bottom for warmer temps. Pretty good for the weight, and cost. Of course, you can't buy them new anymore.
